PMDD and menopause-related mood: a medical evaluation
Walk-in HRT is not how this clinic works. Hormone decisions follow labs and a history.
Women's Hormone Therapy for Cooper City patients
Best menopause HRT is the regimen whose risks you understood.
Thyroid and HRT overlap: check TSH before attributing everything to estradiol.
14-minute path to the Hollywood office
ZIP 33328 is the lead postal code listed for Cooper City. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Cooper City patients who drive 14 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Cooper City sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Weight change at menopause was blamed on willpower.

Cooper City FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
